Summary

Suffering from postpartum depression after the birth of her first child, a 42-year-old musters up the courage to try for another baby. Struggling through two trimesters of nausea, exhaustion, and recurrent, intense dreams, she hopes to hit the 20-week milestone and see the light at the end of the tunnel, only to discover during a routine ultrasound scan that her baby has passed away in the womb. 
 
And so begins a surreal life on the other side of loss, where grief and ecstasy are often bedfellows, tears come from nowhere, other people’s babies become the objects of intense affection, and where the baby that never came to be shows up in stars, stones, seeds, and her toddler’s imagination.

He finds it in Sofia, the curious owner of his vacation rental. Though from vastly different worlds, shared dreams draw them together.

    5 Stars: "It is hard to say anything about this book without risking spoilers, so I will just say this: It. Is. Fantastic. Simone Leigh continues to fill in more of Charlotte's story with each book, while still withholding details we want to know. It's thrilling, suspenseful, exciting, and - yes - frustrating. (Simone, you are evil.^^) Each book leaves me breathless and even more eager for the next one. Simone Leigh is an excellent storyteller, and she never leaves you wanting...well, except for wanting the next book. More. Soon. Please." Kelly (BookBub) 
    5 Stars: "A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must-read!" kbradbury28 (BookBub) 
    5 Stars: "I’m not sure what more to say about this series other than OMG. The characters continue to evolve with every twist and turn that is thrown at them. Will the trio ever get a real uncomplicated HEA? The characters are amazing and the storyline continues to give us excitement. Pick your copy and don’t miss out." viro1114 (BookBub)

    Wow, what a vacation—simply wonderful! Amanda Ellison’s week in sunny Florida was everything she could have hoped for. Almost. 
     
    If only… 
     
    If only the spark hadn’t gone out of her sex life so many years ago. Her husband, Doug, is a good man. He just never seems all that interested in sex anymore. A workaholic by day, ESPN junkie by night, Doug has certainly shifted his priorities during their twenty-five years of marriage. 
     
    Amanda blames herself, of course. At fifty-one, her body certainly isn't what it used to be. Maybe Doug has lost all interest in sex because he’s lost all interest in her. 
     
    Amanda is about to learn otherwise. 
     
    All she has to do first is undergo the most embarrassing and degrading experience of her entire life. 
     
    Arriving at the airport for her flight home, she and Doug make their way to the security area. 
     
    There, she is met by a young, handsome, and very rude TSA trainee. His unfriendly behavior is bad enough. But then comes the metal detector... 
     
    And, oops, Amanda had applied magnesium cream to her upper thighs earlier that day in order to avoid muscle cramps. 
     
    BEEP...BEEP...BEEP!
